Lezers Patent No. 87,154, dated Fama/ry 23,1869.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom 'it may comem Be it known that I, WARREN B. ELLIS, of Boston, in the countyof Su'olk, in the State ofMassachusetts, have rnade a new and useful Invention in the Arrangement of Mosquito-Canopies for Beds; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure l represents the canopy opened and suspended fron; the ceiling.

Figure 2 represents frame of canopy.

Figure 3 represents the canopy closed.

The point of invention is the swinging of the Wooden strips A B on the pivot E, and the use of thevelastic cords F, to connect the bars at A B and C D, on which the lace G of the top and sides is gathered.

The use of the elastic cords is to keep the canopy opened when suspended from the ceiling.

The swinging of the wooden strips on the pivot E is to allow of the canopy being closely packed for transportation.

I do-not claim the invention of cross-bars for the canopy-top, as that is old; but

What I c'aim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 'Ihe combination of the strips A B with the pivot and hook E, and the elastic cords F, as and for the purpose speciied.
